I know nothing about Optima batteries except that they may be high priced. I am currently savoring and well into the 5th yr of ownership from a Duralast in my current 9-5 - I've had 2 9-5 for around 8 yrs and at least one since 1999 and they would go thru a battery every 4 yrs or sooner.
Temps above 135 causes sulfation in a battery as does a state of discharge - I now leave my garage door open on hot summer days and also put a charge on the battery if I've not used the car for several days.
I agree with what some others have said on here - not worth spending big bucks to get a supposedly better batt.
